I saw a bird doing some soaring, which distracted my attention from driving because it seemed unusual, as if it were in display. As I identified it as a raven flying south across Rt. 79 about 0.4 miles west of intersection with Flatiron Rd at ~11, Monday, 12 Feb., I was able to see that it had a bunch of straw-colored stuff in its beak.
Pretty sure it must be nest building somewhere near intersection of Speed Hill and Buffalo Rd. (Alright, why is it called Speed Hill and why is the other called Buffalo?)
